Vegan Black Bean and Squash Chili

Note: If you're a chili-head like me, you can go for the whole can of chipotles, but as it is, it's still got some kick. Use vegan cheese to make this dish 100% vegan.

Procedures

1

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the butternut squash and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and peppers, stirring and cooking until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the cumin, oregano and garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute.

2

Add the chipotle peppers, stock, and beans and cook until the squash has finished cooking, about 10 minutes. Mash the beans gently with a wooden spoon against the side of the pot to thicken, then season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve with scallions, grated cheese, and avocado.

About the Author

If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm seriously obsessed with kale (yes, go ahead and give me a hard time for it, but it's delicious!!) and avocados, though there are a few other ingredients that make the list. I will also try to make anything as spicy as I can without upsetting my fellow eaters. Otherwise, I'm into yoga, traveling, eating and all of the other good things in life!
